[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Here's something from my fridge that'll get you to the top of Mount Wellington.
On the left, Urquell...top Czech beer and on the right Cusqueña, a Peruvian collector's item. And the big man in the middle doesn't really need introducing.....

Good man BB! The Judas is definitely a beer for post-race celebrations rather than pre-race training. Do share your thoughts about the Cusqueña. Is this one of those beers you drink with lime (or lemon if you come from the funny areas)? I've never seen it here.

Motivation also came today in the form of two co-workers who both told me I was "mad" for attempting the Point to Pinnacle. Which made this evening's training session all the sweeter. I must be mad, because I'm actually relishing these masochistic torture trials - I figure the more it hurts now, the less difficult it must be when I actually get on the mountain.

And one of the other great things about race walking is that I don't need a rest day between training. Not so far, anyhow.

And then there's all that beer to look forward to. In fact I'm keeping a Judas aside for post-race. And probably "one or two" others as well.
